Mom, son who were hit by car remain hospitalized

RANCHO SAN DIEGO  A woman and her 2-year-old son remain hospitalized in serious condition after being struck by a car Wednesday evening in Rancho San Diego as they were crossing Fury Lane near Weighorst Way.

The 30-year-old woman, whose identity was not released, sustained major injuries, including several fractures, said California Highway Patrol Sgt. Mark Crofton. The boy had moderate injuries, including cuts, bruises and scrapes, Crofton said.

The 21-year-old driver, identified as Carolann Rogers of La Mesa, was heading west on Fury Lane in a 2003 Toyota Camry traveling about 25 mph when the sun got in her eyes, officials said. She was pulling down her sun visor when the car struck the woman and boy.

Crofton said Rogers was not arrested and that there did not appear to be evidence of driving under the influence. The accident remains under investigation, he said.
